N2 - Purpose: Pressure support is often used for extubation readiness testing, to overcome perceived imposed work of breathing from endotracheal tubes. We sought to determine whether effort of breathing on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 5 cmH2O is higher than post-extubation effort, and if this is confounded by endotracheal tube size or post-extubation noninvasive respiratory support. Methods: Prospective trial in intubated children. Using esophageal manometry we compared effort of breathing with pressure rate product under four conditions: pressure support 10/5 cmH2O, CPAP 5 cmH2O (CPAP), and spontaneous breathing 5 and 60 min post-extubation. Subgroup analysis excluded post-extubation upper airway obstruction (UAO) and stratified by endotracheal tube size and post-extubation noninvasive respiratory support. Results: We included 409 children. Pressure rate product on pressure support [100 (IQR 60, 175)] was lower than CPAP [200 (120, 300)], which was lower than 5 min [300 (150, 500)] and 60 min [255 (175, 400)] post-extubation (all p
